I still have all of the cartridges of Yellow, Blue, Red, Gold, Silver, and Crystal. But I don't even touch Crystal and Red because of my amazing teams. But as of recently, I've just been playing the Roms.

The batteries in all of our (my brother and myself) copies of the first and second generation games are dead, though for whatever reason my brother still has my old Blue version in an old (original) Game Boy carrying case that he now uses to store peripherals like GBA link cables.

My old Pokemon Silver cartridge: resurrected from the dead without battery replacement. How? As an avid electrician, I opened it up with a game bit, jumped the original battery with one of my spare watch batteries and a spare gator clip lead, fired up the old atomic purple (Game Boy Color), and now the game looks like it's holding its own quite well. I never had time to return to the game and nab Badge 2 of 16.

Let me just say, if I thought that these games were dead, I wouldn't have gone to the trouble of fixing the corrupted battery on my Gold, oh yeah, and it's also sitting by me right now. :)

Unfortunately I sold my older Pokémon games along with my GBA. If I hadn't had sold them, I can honestly imagine myself playing through them again. Classics never get old in my opinion.

Pokemon Crystal is the best video game ever made.

I've ran through it about a million times.

Although I'll probably give Black and White a run eventually, I don't foresee them overshadowing my favourite. After all, in my opinion, 251 is plenty of Pokemon. ;) I mean, the newer games aren't BAD, they just don't give me the satisfaction I get from completing Red or Silver.

I actually just picked up my Blue version and my Gameboy Color and started a whole new game on it.
This game really does bring back some great memories and I love playing it.
The music is great to listen to, and for an old Gameboy game, the graphics are actually pretty great.
Not sure if I'll finish the entire game, though.

Pokemon Ranger Lisa October 2nd, 2010 9:57 PM

NEVER!!! my metal and colors games shall live on!! XD

My Silver game still works mostly, except that sometiems the screen goes black or something and i have to restart. so I have to save really really often, and my pokemon yellow and red still work just fine. I dont play them much anymore though - HG/SS is where it's at. ^_^

Deathshot October 3rd, 2010 3:06 AM

My Red Saved Data has been deleted for some reason.... There is no data on the game... Started a new game yesterday..... I am at Blaine already.... I miss these games....

dragoniteuser October 3rd, 2010 3:28 AM

I do play them from time to time, but I must admit, it's getting rare!

WinterSong October 24th, 2010 7:58 PM

I think they're not old, yet. o_O I still regularly play my Crystal and Yellow. :3

TrilbyMenetti October 25th, 2010 9:41 AM

I still own all of my First and Second Generation games, but I no longer play them as such. Since my Gold cartridge died, I feel too upset to return to my childhood games, in case any of them died off too. Plus, my terrible noobishness would be on them.

Legobricks October 27th, 2010 9:22 AM

They do collect dust in my room, makes me think I should give them to the newer youngins of the world.
Ah but they all have better things now...

I'll replace the batteries before I sell them/play them much again.

U.Flame October 27th, 2010 8:50 PM

My favorite generation is and will always be the 2nd. HeartGold and SoulSilver are pretty good remakes, but I like the original ones most. Especially since I transferred my Mew glitch Mew to my Crystal and trained it to level 88. And my shiny Tangela, my only true 1 in 8000 chance shiny in my life! And the strange gender changing glitch I experienced. I have too many memories and I will never stop playing Crystal!

hazelfraz October 28th, 2010 2:26 PM

They wont ever be dead they were the start of this whole thing i think it will always be there just as long there is a pokmaniac somewhere

DARKSHADE October 30th, 2010 8:49 AM

Ha one right here, still have my original copies.. pick them up for a play from time to time ^^
I even found my Pokemon red case and instruction manual (Pokemon Trainers Guide) the other day.
Pokemon Red was the first game I ever played and will always remain important to me.. even after all these years my gaming knowledge and playing has grown far beyond that of the first generation era.
But those games were amazing I prefer Crystal to any other Pokemon game.. and as for Red.. I don't know.. the music.. the crappy tiles.. EVERYTHING. No matter how bad they compare to todays games.. they are still awesome.

Garouga! Bare Your Fangs! October 30th, 2010 9:36 AM

The older games are never gonna die completely due to remakes, although their first forms are antiques now. I still play Crystal from time to time because it's my all-time favorite game, and I doubt I'm ever gonna let it go.

Azzurra October 31st, 2010 6:15 PM

Sometimes when I'm bored I play Gold version (and by bored, I mean really bored). Anyway, the last time I played them was a couple of years ago, so I guess I've gotten over them.

GaXeL October 31st, 2010 6:45 PM

I'm playing silver right now :D
Just grinding my level 87 feraligatr

The Corrupt Plague October 31st, 2010 6:56 PM

I wouldn't exactly call them dead because their spirits live on in the endless sea of Rom hacks.

institutions October 31st, 2010 7:00 PM

No way.
I own at least one game from every generation and Pokemon Blue is the one I play the most.

Question:
My silver version won't save anymore.
I play the game, hit save, it acts like it saves, but when I turn it off and on again the save file is gone.
Is there any way to fix this?

jujuju October 31st, 2010 7:52 PM

These are the only pokemon games that I play, but they probably will become dead as the people that play them become older and stop playing the original games. I just can't see people who are new to the series, play the original games like someone around my age does.

Also, institutions, if I am correct it sounds like your internal battery is dead. Not really sure what to do about that, but I'm sure that a little bit of research would provide an answer to your question.

xxChazxx November 2nd, 2010 10:18 AM

Well, I'm playing Yellow (I've only ever played Red and Blue in Gen I) and I'm playing Crystal again afterward, so these games are still very much alive.

Zaroas November 2nd, 2010 4:37 PM

I unfortunately gave away my Gameboy and my old Blue version to my cousin. I did find a program that's not a ROM that allows you to play the old RBY and GSC games on your computer. I play them from time to time, mainly when there's nothing much going on in the world of Pokemon.

So no, I don't consider them dead at all.

xPsychosocial November 8th, 2010 2:07 PM

I don't see the originals as dead, I'm just afraid the batteries will go on the rest of them. My second generation games don't work and I don't want my Pokémon Blue game to stop working because it's the first Pokémon game I owned. I emulate them, I was emulating Blue a few minutes ago.
